RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 16 — Michael Vick’s lawyers have advised him to accept a plea deal from federal prosecutors in his dogfighting case, according to a person with direct knowledge of the case. The deal would most likely come with a recommendation from prosecutors that Vick, the Atlanta Falcons quarterback, be sentenced to one to two years in prison.

The court papers, filed as Quanis Phillips, 28, and Purnell Peace, 35, pleaded guilty to dogfighting charges Friday, said all three men "executed approximately eight dogs that did not perform well in testing sessions" in April of this year by methods such as hanging and drowning.

I think the problem with a lifetime suspension is that it permits you to apply for reinstatement every year. With an indefinite suspension, you're only allowed back if the commssioner says so (and there's no right to even apply for reinstatement).

He will never play in the NFL again, and the NFL will be better off. This guy is garbage. What I can't believe, is all the athletes that have defended Vick, and the cavalier attitude they have towards dog fighting. (Deion Sanders, Clinton Portis, Roy Jones Jr.)

A quote from Roy Jones Jr:

"They are making this so bad, but really two dogs fighting can happen in anyone's backyard or on the street. It happened in my backyard, two of my dogs fought and one died."

Uh, Roy, there's a small difference here, the dogs in your back yard were not forced to fight. :roll: :evil:
